Trap me in your love novel Chapter 154

Lawrence's heart ached when he saw Jessie's desperate face. He was about to comfort her, but Ken stopped him.

He shook his head to indicate Lawrence to leave.

The door was closed. Seeing that Lawrence was about to speak, Ken immediately said, "I know what you want to say. Maybe it's a big blow to her now, but the reality is like this. She has to face it."

It was better to have short sharp pains than long dull pains. It was better to cut her thought off than to keep her in torment all the time.

Lawrence didn't say a word. Looking sideways at the closed door, his heart ached.

Although Ken had told him to let Jessie calm herself down, and it needed time for her to accept what had happened, Lawrence couldn't turn a blind eye to her.

He went downstairs, heat up the bird's nest congee, and took it upstairs.

"Jessie, I just got the porridge heated up. Please eat some. Otherwise, your body really can't stand it." Lawrence kept persuading Jessie, as if he was begging her. But Jessie didn't say anything, just curling up at the end of the bed, with a dull look on her face.

He put down the porridge and sat beside her quietly.

"You know what? I met you for the first time when I was ten years old. In that year, my family, the Xiao family, was destructed completely overnight. I survived because I went to the summer camp. At that time, when I came back, I saw the entire Xiao family was burnt into ruins, and all the members of the family didn't even have their bones left. Do you know what I was thinking at that time? I was wondering why I went out and why I should survive. All my families have left me. What's the meaning of living alone? However, when Grandpa found me, told me your story, which made my life more and more meaningful."

He knew that in addition to his parents, family members, there was also someone he needed to protect in this world.

That was Jasmine.

"Look at this. It's a photo of your parents. You are as pretty as aunt, especially your watery eyes."

Lawrence put the photo in front of Jessie. Jessie slightly raised her eyes and saw the two people in that yellowed photo.

In the photo, a man and a woman were handsome and gentle. They hugged each other and smiled happily.

Jessie looked at them in the photo calmly. Lawrence continued, "Your parents loved each other very much and were filial to your grandfather. Ken thought that they would be happier with you, the new family member, but he didn't expect that two important family members were dead overnight. If you were him, you would have hatred too, wouldn't you? Jessie, I know it's hard for you to accept that. But please put yourself in grandfather's standpoint. He sent you away because he had to. That doesn't mean that he doesn't love you. On the contrary, he loves you too much. He was afraid that you won't get the happiness you deserve."

"Love me too much?" Hearing that, Jessie raised her eyes abruptly and glared at Lawrence with hatred. "If he loved me, he wouldn't have chosen to tell me the truth now. Since he had hidden it for twenty-one years, why didn't he continue to hide it? I once doubted that I wasn't my mother's child. Why did others' parents love them so much while my parents treated me so badly! If you said you love me, why didn't you come to me? Why didn't you take me away? Haven't you ever come to see me? Don't you know how my life was?"

Since she was a little girl, she had been living gingerly and kept an eye on the expression on the faces of Darren and Ivy every day.
